After the superior arrives, the mission briefing officially begins.
"It seems that everyone has arrived on time. Very good. Let's quickly conduct the briefing." The superior officer in charge of the briefing nodded with satisfaction and opened the briefing file at the same time. "I don't plan to take up too much of your time.
So the briefing process will go very quickly, so try not to interrupt me. After I finish speaking, I will leave time for you to ask questions."
"This officer seems to be a practical person." Liu Lingxin said softly.
Wang Yu nodded in agreement.
On the stage, the officer had already begun to demonstrate the content of the mission.
"This mission will be the first joint combat operation between us and the Yimlan people." The officer took the lead in introducing the background of the mission. "That is to say, unlike the phased mission you carried out last time, this
This mission requires close cooperation between you and the Yimlan Air Force to complete it together - I know you may be worried about the cooperation between the teams and the chain of command, but there is no need to worry about this anymore..."

The officer paused for half a second as he spoke and looked at the pilots below, as if to emphasize.
"Because your outstanding performance last time proved our strength to the Yimlan people, in this operation, the imperial officer corps will take over the command of the operation. In other words, we will be responsible for this operation
During this mission, even Yin Mulan's pilots, as long as they participate in this mission, must obey our arrangements."
Wang Yu heard Wenxuan mutter something, but his voice was too soft and he couldn't hear clearly.
It must be some sigh about Yin Mulan's military being really willing to release command authority.
After all, Wang Yu was quite surprised when he heard the introduction from his superiors. As for the command authority of the operation, they were actually willing to let the imperial officer corps be responsible for this matter. This was tantamount to letting the empire decide everything during the operation.
.
For example, if something goes wrong during the operation, in order to protect its pilots, the empire lets the Yin Mulans take the rear seat.
Handing over command means that if this happens, the Yinmulans will have no choice but to suffer the consequences.
It seems that in addition to trusting the strength of the imperial officers, Yin Mulan also trusts the empire itself.
"The content of this mission is a ground sweep mission." The superiors did not care what the people below thought. After a brief pause, they switched the content on the screen and continued, "What you are seeing now is located on the front line of the two countries.
The central protrusion, the protrusion formed by Custer's troops, is like a nail embedded in the Yimlan defense line."
What is displayed on the screen at this time is an enemy-friendly area marked in red and blue, which represents a bulge on Custer's front line, which goes deep into the Yinmulan controlled area. This is called a protruding front in the military concept.
If Custer wants to attack, the troops in this salient can pose a serious threat to the flanks of the Yimlan defense line, and can also attack the Yimlan logistics area, so the terrain of the salient is an excellent offensive
Starting point.
The people of Yinmulan must be very unhappy when they see this protruding part.
It's like having a thorn in your body. If you don't pull it out, it will continue to sting.
"A few days ago, the Kast people gathered their forces and launched a large-scale attack with air support." The superior introduced the situation of this protrusion, "But the Yimlan people knew that they were outnumbered and took the initiative to retreat, leaving Kas.
The Special Forces have such a protrusion, and according to the information shared by Yin Mulan's intelligence department behind enemy lines, Custer's follow-up troops are currently entering the protrusion area continuously, which means that they are concentrating their forces on this protrusion.
, prepare to expand the results."
Wang Yu nodded. If Custer could stand firm on this protruding area, then launching an attack inside Yin Mulan would be overwhelming, and Yin Mulan's front might also become in danger due to being broken through. "But you all know that although the protrusion is conducive to offense, it also has very extreme problems." The superior clicked on the screen, and two dynamic arrows suddenly appeared, and these two arrows started from Yin Mulan's battle line.
, closing from both sides of the protrusion to the middle, "It is difficult to defend and can easily be cut off and surrounded from the rear."
According to the dynamic arrows on the screen, if the Yimlan people can organize an assault force, they can indeed catch the Custer people by surprise and cut off the connection between the Custer army in the salient and their rear.
It seems that this mission is related to this. The Yimlan people want to launch an offensive and swallow up Custer's protrusion.
This operation will inevitably require the cooperation of the Air Force. At least during the operation, Yinlan needs to have 100% air superiority in the combat airspace - in addition to protecting the ground troops from Custer's air harassment, it must also be able to control the air force at any time.
Be there when called, and carry out precise strikes on the tough spots on the offensive line as soon as possible.
"You must have seen the Yimlan people's plan. Yes, the Yimlan people plan to attack the salient, surround and annihilate the Custer troops inside the salient. The operation is codenamed 'bulge offensive'." p>
As expected, the superiors did not give everyone a chance to ask questions, and directly began to briefly explain the mission situation: "However, you must know that the entire salient offensive is a large-scale military operation, with a long execution time, many mission steps, and complex goals, so we naturally
It is impossible to take over the command of the overall operation. According to the discussions between us and Yin Mulan, the Imperial Officer Corps is only responsible for the initial tasks of this operation, which is what is commonly called the 'kick-in-the-door' operation. That's it.
Can you understand?"
The target of the bombing is also very clear, which is the runway and taxiway of the airport.
…………
In a blink of an eye, it’s time to perform the task.
The hangar area at this time has become very busy due to this combat operation.
The Yinmulan fighter planes were parked on the tarmac for maintenance. After all, they were still responsible for the bulk of this battle.
So they are also the main members on the tarmac.
On the side of this busy apron, four well-prepared fighter planes are also parked on the apron. These are the fighter planes of Jishi Squadron and Iris Squadron.
The ground team has also helped the fighter aircraft complete the mounts required for the mission - each F-15e carries a total of six thousand-pound JDAM bombs on the fuselage pylons, and four self-defense bombs under the wings.
For air-to-air missiles, an auxiliary fuel tank under the belly ensures endurance. This configuration is used to carry out precise bombing of airport runways and destroy the airport's take-off and landing functions.
The su-37 is equipped with full anti-aircraft this time. According to the mission requirements, they need to provide full air escort for Ji Zhou.
The various work trucks and complicated cables on the ground prove that the ground crew has helped the pilots complete the initial startup of the fighter aircraft. After the pilots arrive, they only need to get on the aircraft and proceed with the subsequent steps.
Soon, members of both squadrons arrived.
Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin had already put on their flight suits and flight equipment, entered the cockpit to start the fighter plane, and connected the flight equipment to the fighter plane. This was considered a standard step that they could not make any mistakes at all.
"This is your mission tablet." Wang Yu's ground crew leader stood on the ladder and leaned outside the cockpit and handed Wang Yu the tools he needed. "And here are your tool bags and sidearms."
Wang Yu took these things from his hands, placed the tablet on his knees, put the tool bag behind his back and connected it to the flight equipment, and then hung the holster containing a pistol at his side.
Speaking of which, in the Imperial Air Force, pilots are issued fixed-type pistols.
But this does not mean that pilots must use this fixed model of gun as their own sidearm. They have the right to choose the weapon they like. If they want other firearms, they can apply to the superiors at the base, as long as the superiors think the equipment you want is
If the gun can be carried on a fighter plane and does not affect your normal flight, the gun replacement permit will generally be approved.
For example, some pilots love submachine guns and would hang one on their side even in a narrow cockpit.
The pistol is usually inserted directly into the holster, and there is a special position on the side of the flight equipment. When ejecting, there is no need to waste time re-hanging the gun on the body, so Wang Yu also uses the default pistol as the accessory gun.
It’s also a convenience.
"Wait a minute, what's your gun?"
Wenxuan, who had just got into the fighter plane, noticed Wang Yu's movements. He shouted to Wang Yu amidst the noise: "Is it a pistol?"
When Wang Yu heard his shout, he raised his gun and showed it to him.
"Sure enough, it's a pistol. I think you should take a look at mine." Wenxuan raised a short assault rifle and showed it to Wang Yu, "The AKS-74U short assault rifle has much stronger firepower than your meager firepower. I think you
You should be like me and use ak instead."
"A pistol is obviously enough." Wang Yu replied, "And you have to know that pilots carry guns for self-defense after parachuting, so as long as I don't parachute, I don't need to use a side gun."
Wenxuan said seriously: "This is not a question of whether to skydive or not. I think a man should aspire to a 'big gun'."
You call a short assault rifle a "big gun", but you really have it. If you have the ability, just put the M82 on a fighter plane.
Then when someone bites him at six o'clock, he ejects, and then shoots the opponent's pilot with a backhand shot.
So Wang Yu curled his lips and stopped talking to Wenxuan.
The fighter jet started quickly. Wang Yu closed the canopy when the engine became noisy, and then checked the instruments in order.
Even if Irene can do it for me, as the saying goes, what should be done should be done.
Power supply, various detectors, communications, navigation, various alarm lights, alarm volume, HUD brightness, calibration of different indicators, fuel level display, inertial navigation calibration, interference measure inspection, pitot tube operation...
After Wang Yu finished all this, the fighter's twin engine speeds were all stabilized at about 67% and remained stable. The engine oil supply was normal, the oil pressure and oil temperature were normal, and the fighter's control surfaces were all normal. This aircraft
The fighter planes are ready to take off.
Almost at the same time, Wang Yu received the green light from the tower.
He started gliding first.
"No. 1, start taxiing."
"No. 2, following you."
Wenxuan then lightly pushed the throttle lever to increase the engine speed to 74%, then released the wheel brake, allowing the fighter plane to slowly begin to taxi, and followed Wang Yu towards the runway.
